It is all academic now because,

It is now 1007 - so there!!

Been testing the new 8,888 score bonus..

Works quite well, though it is really hard to kill a wave of hunters without them touching you. Even on level 1 this is a bit tricky..

Hope to release V1.02 tomorrow night if HK is happy with the changes.. Sorry, but we are a team.. and all has to be good for both of us before anything is released.. HK is still busy working ATM, but a release will be soon.

I trough's you only released one version? Also version 1.01 was only meant for beating the compatible issues with some cards yet?

This is more a hiscore change which might effect gameplay?

flash · **Reply #153 on:** July 19, 2009, 09:14:03 pm

We forgot the "end of level" bonus count up for level 16, so the main reason for this was to add that. I think that was important to add.

Also, the hunter bonus now offers another way to get a higher score, and a tricky way

so, is it up yet?... i've been refreshing the download page, and still says version 1.01...

It is up now, and we did put your name on the hiscore table as "Kaspa"

I ended up rounding off the hiscore values so I hope Flash doesn't mind but he's disappeared and I usually like to get him to check everything first. Oh well if there are any problems let us know and we will deal with them tomorrow.

Just credit feeded it, to see the changes/improvements :
- good idea to give bonus for the Hunters, and indeed, it's sometimes quite hard to destroy all of them as they're right in the middle of other ennemy waves.

- good to see the True Last Boss with a complete lifebar ! (and giving some points !)

- good to get bonus points from le 16th level, in the previous version there was something "unfinished".

- GLAD to see the "I'll be back" message !!!

- VERY GLAD to see my name in the high score board !

The game was great, it's even greater now !
gotta give the good news to everyone in France now ! (and 1cc the game to improve my score !)

EDIT : haven't found out what was your "Easter Egg"...
re-EDIT : 1cced it, with 1 533 108 (mental), it's REALLY hard to get all the ground bases bonus !!!

I want HeadKaze to understand that I mean no disrespect. I think it is unfair that you have named the website that hosts the code for the warhawk game "HeadSoft". I know that GreatFlash has spent alot of time on the project as well, and I think a co-owned website would be more appropriate. I have given this quite a bit of thought, and I think GreatHead would be a nice name to use...

In all seriousness, this is a joke!

headkaze · **Reply #160 on:** July 24, 2009, 03:58:56 am

GreatHead!

Kaspal · **Reply #161 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:02:13 am

and here i was thinking it should be named somethin like FlashHead or something.

In my case, GreatSoft.. (Well... The wife's not what she was LOL)

flash · **Reply #164 on:** August 03, 2009, 08:02:45 pm

SF,

You got a really nice comment about the music on the youtube vid...

Perhaps you should compile all the remixed into an album, I know I would love that!!

spacefractal · **Reply #165 on:** August 04, 2009, 04:01:34 pm

even the music is very much mono and not stereo (hence exclusive for the game), I gonna to think to submit it to remix64.com, when they open the submission again. I could also submit to the c64 releases forum as well. its one of my best remixes done.

spacefractal · **Reply #166 on:** August 08, 2009, 01:34:23 pm

why not use the 3d model to been used in the top banner

?

Lobo · **Reply #167 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:17:27 pm

Because it would shoot that Wizball monster in the face!

BigLord · **Reply #168 on:** August 11, 2009, 01:22:02 am

I just stopped by here now, glad to see that the score of 7 million and a half was a lie, like the cake

Well I guess I'll download the new version now. I'll just finish the game again!

Like if I care! THIS GAME IS AWESOME!

@Lobo: that ship looks kickass, I would love to hear more about that game you're working on.

flash · **Reply #169 on:** August 11, 2009, 09:52:21 am

You can NEVER have enough SHMUP'S LOL

Lobo, did you want to create a seperate topic for Arse-nal? Perhaps in the 'Other Games & Projects" area? I could move the posts?

Up to you mate!

PS. The mock-up looks sweet!!

Lobo · **Reply #170 on:** August 11, 2009, 06:27:02 pm

Aye, that would be sweet, one topic for ArsenalDS please, with ketchup.
That way we can announce the bloody editor when ready for people who can also post their stuff once we get there.

Thanx mate.

flash · **Reply #171 on:** August 11, 2009, 06:55:47 pm

There is now a shiny new (Ketchup covered) topic for Arse-Nal (or ArsenalDS)

Here

I think I have copied the main stuff over?

Lobo · **Reply #172 on:** August 11, 2009, 07:50:06 pm

Great, it's all in there + gooey stuff, thanks!

BigLord · **Reply #173 on:** August 12, 2009, 02:36:18 am

Odd that you say that 'cause I was just playing World of Goo...

Whatever, I look forward to it!

Hydeux · **Reply #174 on:** August 16, 2009, 07:54:47 am

Just to mention that I've re-written the test I'd done of Warhawk, this one is more complete and "up-to-date" with the 1.02 version. ( http://www.shmup.com/index.php?page=fiche&id=1283 )

As the game is really good, I felt like trying the 1986 version, which is quite good as well but wtf with those mad bosses

? still can't beat the game thanks to them !!!

Is there a link where one can download the musics ? (well... if the music are downloadable I mean.)

flash · **Reply #175 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:22:39 am

Thanks again for the review

The only thing that is a bit wrong is "Flash and Badtoad decide in early 2009 to re-create the game, assisted this time by Lobo and HeadKaze."

This should really be,

"Flash and Headkaze decide in early 2009 to re-create the game, assisted this time by Lobo, Spacefractal, and Badtoad."

And, "can't beat the game" - in the original.. ha ha, and I thought you were a shmup god!!

Ok, actually, I'm just a demigod...
(well obviously there's something I don't get on the bosses fight... But straight to level 8 boss so far, that's nearly it !)

Just look on the frontpage :-D, I released mp3 versions of all music I created for the game (+plus some tunes not used) except the POTT title tune for some weeks ago.

Hydeux · **Reply #178 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:46:35 am

'must confess I'd never been on the Home page... So, THERE'S a link for the music, thanx !
(and of course, I cast a vote for Warhawk !)

Going back to 86 Warhawk : HAS SOMEBODY EVER 1CC THAT GAME

? those crazy "turning left to right as fast as possible so you won't fire me" bosses and their f*** little "wanna stick on your ship" rocks are a real pain in the a** !!!

flash · **Reply #179 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:05:10 am

He he he... It was a bit tricky...

Yes it has been 1CC'd several times. I believe that Badtoad had gone through it once and got to level 6 or 7 on the second pass.
